The previous ‘Best Indian time’ of 01:03.77 in the event was also under Maana’s name, which she had previously clocked in Belgrade last year.
At the meet, Maana qualified 15th overall to qualify for the ‘B’ final, where she finished with a timing of 01:03:87.
In swimming, a timing is considered a national record when it has been achieved at the National Aquatic Championships. Hence, the timings clocked in other meets are called the ‘Best Indian time’.
